Mitch---There should be enough adjustment in your rocker studs to
accommodate the (approx?) .060 you had shaved from the head. Of course
you will run into spring resistance at some of the valves at you try to
screw down the rocker pedestals. This is normal, as you in effect are
opening these valves.

I would not recommend shimming up the pedestals. This will change the
geometry of the rockers where it wipes the valve stems. I'll send you
more on this if it's not clear
